Glad you enjoyed your river cruise and sewing the tags on is a lovely thing to do for your GCIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Pleased to say the sewing is done for another year. Tomorrow and Tuesday work , then I am off on leave again until the 1st September . Haven't been far today just to HB for a few things , the rest of the day I have been ironing , batch cooking and getting sorted for the week.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4

I can remember buying the custom made sew in name tapes from Good Housekeeping magazine when mine were little. What a laborious job that was 😆
I only have 3 days to do next week, 4 days the following week then we are off to Ibiza 😎

I buy the stickers, they are great and last well (plus can be used on shoes, bottles and lunchboxes too). Too lazy for ironing or sewing in here"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

I just use a marker pen! So think I am the laziest! Your river cruise sounded lovely & I just love how invested you in your children’s/grandchildren’s lives! They are very lucky 💕 x1

I just used to use the surname on my label and just sewed them in everything and it didn’t matter if items were handed down….although with a boy and a girl not much was passed between them.
The river cruise sounds lovely. I do love a boat trip 😁January spends - £587.581 -
Have had a good week just gone by in some respects, but had to resort to going to the doctors again , and am now having a scan quite soon to see if that gives a clue to my problem. Also needed blood tests but no appts available until mid September!The DGC had a good day on Wednesday we went to an outdoor area that has a few bridges to go over , we watched a movie outside for free whilst eating our packed lunch. I ventured to the next county on Friday and had a ride out and lunch which was lovely as it is semi rural where she lives . Yesterday I was at the big shopping centre very early and got a new iPad . The tech fund is now empty so we start again next month.Today I have been de cluttering and will be going to the top in the morning , also have a charity bag and a few items on Vinted , two have sold so they are now on their way to new owners .About to have a Sunday dinner now and watch a film.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1
